For the first&nbsp;syrups are the norm but for the second ones my favourite things to put on pancakes are:<br /><br />- Nutella!!! Nutella is the all time best thing that you can put on a warm pancake... yoummmy all the way<br />- fruit jams, but not any kind - only&nbsp;home-made&nbsp;fruit jams with large chunks of fruit inside them that really taste like fruit, this is sooo heavenly<br />- fruit jams, the ones from above combined with sour cream or fresh curd, mmmmm.... don't get me started on this...<br />- and&nbsp;finally, a simple one -&nbsp;sugar&nbsp;and lemon.<br /><br />You can of course put all these on normal american pancakes but the point in putting them on thin ones is to roll them and since they are thinner the topping takes over when it comes to taste. That's it - my favourite <a href="http://www.thepancakerecipe.com/">pancake recipes</a>&nbsp;and then my favourite topping.<br /><br />Enjoy!cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788152007166162285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089313730822286601.post-44470318389290305212010-09-04T08:22:00.000-07:002010-09-04T08:22:56.104-07:00I'm not the only one that loves pancakes :)There is this guy here that also likes <a href="http://www.trio-med.com/food-beverage/recipes/pancakes">pancakes</a>.

Because of the ingredients regular pancakes are not thought of as being necessarily healthy, but you can make them that way. Instead of making carbohydrate laden, no nutrient pancakes consider making an oatmeal pancake recipe. This gives your body a boost of fiber making the pancakes much more nutritious and there is an added bonus. They taste good too.<br /> <br /> The original oatmeal pancake comes from a country you would not expect it to come from. They come from Sweden and are usually served with fruit and jelly instead of syrup. Oatmeal pancakes can be served with regular syrup too and they taste very good, but you can also put applesauce on them if you do not want to use syrup.<br /> <br /> In this recipe use regular oatmeal instead of the microwave type. Also avoid the Quick Oats in the following recipe. The only oatmeal you should use is slow cooked oatmeal and you can use organic oatmeal if you wish.<br /> <br /> Easy oatmeal pancakes can be made by combining one and one half cup of rolled oats with two cups of milk in a large bowl. Let this sit for about 10 minutes and continue. In a separate bowl combine one half cup whole wheat flour, one half cup all purpose flour, one tablespoon baking powder, one tablespoon brown sugar, one fourth teaspoon salt, and one half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix this well with a whisk but be careful not to whisk so hard it flies out of the bowl.<br /> <br /> The next thing to do is break 2 eggs into a small bowl and beat them well. Add them to the bowl with the oatmeal and milk. Take 1 fourth cup of butter and melt it and add to the oatmeal mixture. Also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Start adding the dry ingredients to the oatmeal mixture just a little bit at a time and mix it in well by hand after each addition. Once all is mixed in you can start to make your pancakes.<br /> <br /> Place a griddle or skillet on a stove and turn the burner on and once it gets hot add a little bit of butter or oil. Scoop out one fourth of a cup of the pancake batter and pour it onto the hot griddle. Pretty soon bubbles will start to gather around the edge of the pancake and when it is totally circled by bubbles turn the pancake over. The pancake is done when both sides of it have been browned and the inside is fluffy. You can put butter on top then pour syrup over top or just top with jam or applesauce.<br /> <br /> You can also make a yummy orange flavored syrup to pour over your pancakes. The syrup is simple to make and it gives added dimension to oatmeal pancakes. You will need one half cup of sugar in a saucepan along with one fourth of a cup of orange juice, one fourth of a light corn syrup and one fourth of a cup of butter. Whisk while on the heat and stop once it starts to bubble and boil. Take the pan off the heat and set it aside for about 5 minutes then pour over the pancake. This syrup is not nearly as healthy as the pancake but if you want to be adventurous you may want to try it along with your oatmeal pancake recipe.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Ben loves pancakes and this <a target='_blank' href="http://www.thepancakerecipe.com/healthy/oatmeal-pancake-recipe/">oatmeal pancake recipe</a> is just one of the recipes that you can find on his website.

They are carbohydrate loaded so in some cases they can cause your blood sugar to rise rather high. Flour pancakes have no source of fiber but if you use other grains you will be able to provide your body with less carbohydrates and a great deal of fiber. You can use oatmeal as one of those alternative grains to make an Oatmeal Pancake Recipe.<br /> <br /> The original oatmeal pancake comes from a country you would not expect it to come from. They come from Sweden and are usually served with fruit and jelly instead of syrup.

Also avoid the Quick Oats in the following recipe. The only oatmeal you should use is slow cooked oatmeal and you can use organic oatmeal if you wish.<br /> <br /> To make a simple oatmeal pancake batch place 1 and 1 half cup of oats in a large bowl along with 2 cups of milk. You can use skim or 2 percent milk and set the bowl aside to rest for about ten minutes or so. Take another bowl and in it put 1 half cup of whole wheat flour and 1 half cup of all purpose flour. It has a little bit of white flour in it but the combination of oatmeal and wheat flour will make it have much more fiber and nutrients that pancakes made with all white flour. Add to that bowl 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 fourth teaspoon of salt, 1 half teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Take your whisk and stir these dry ingredients until they are well combined.<br /> <br /> The next thing to do is break 2 eggs into a small bowl and beat them well.

You will need a skillet or griddle, a mixing bowl, a large spatula to help you flip those pancakes and a wooden spoon (any spoon will do though if you don't have a wooden one).<br /> <br /> To achieve the best results, your needs to be warmed up before you can cook on it.

Let them cook until you start noticing bubbles popping at the surface: they are ready to be flipped.<br /> <br /> Quickly flip the pancakes. When they have achieved the desired color, they are ready to be served!

Make sure you have a pan that heats evenly and burners that burn clean and fast. This will help make the consistency and color of the pancakes ideal.<br /><br />Have a metal spatula with no holes in it. This makes for a prettier pancake if you turn it before it is entirely ready. Batter will not drip through the holes and make the pan difficult to use or the buttermilk pancakes ugly looking. Presentation is a big part of a good pancake. Add a small cup of whipped butter next to the plate, or decorate the meal with strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or other garnishes.<br /><br />When you choose your ingredients, go organic if you can. It makes an unhealthy food far less unhealthy than it normally would be. You can reduce your guilt about eating something so delicious! Good ingredients will really make it taste better, too. The only way you could then ruin the taste was by putting on fake maple syrup.<br /><br />By buying organic, it will also mean that you ingredients will all be separate. Not only is it a more fun task to make it from scratch, but it will once again taste better. There is not as much time or thought put into already mixed boxes, nor can you adjust it to your preferences.<br /><br />When it comes to the milk, buy the butter milk if you can. Many people are reluctant to do so, since you will only need one cup for the recipe. However, if you buy a small container, it will be greatly to your benefit since the pancakes will taste so much better. Apart from the milk, you will need one egg, half a teaspoon of baking soda, one cup of flour, half a teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder, one tablespoon of sugar, and one tablespoon of oil.<br /><br />Crack the egg and beat it, fully breaking up the yolk. Add the milk and baking soda and stir these well together. Then add all the other ingredients, stirring as you go. Mix it well and get out all the lumps without making the batter too stiff from too much mixing.<br /><br />Pour it on a griddle (the hotter you let it get, the better) that has been prepped with butter or a cooking spray. The heat should be on medium. Too hot might scorch the pancake. Flip it when you have to and check it to make sure the center is cooked.</div>cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788152007166162285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089313730822286601.post-64969272427865855522010-02-15T02:06:00.001-08:002010-02-26T01:06:21.621-08:00Banana Pancake Recipe - Learn how to make banana pancakes<div class="uawarticle">How many times have you had bananas go bad right after you have purchased them.

They are tasty and fluffy, and complement any breakfast! There are many different recipes and types of pancakes including buttermilk and fruit flavored. Nowadays, you can buy ready to go pancake batter. But why not try your hand at this easy American pancake recipe?<br /><br />You will need some basic tools to get started: a mixing bowl, a nice skillet or a flat top, a spatula and a whisk to ensure that your pancake mix is well blended. Make sure you have all the tools and ingredients you need before you start; it makes things a helluva of a lot easier and saves a good amount of time.<br /><br />To cook pancakes the right way, you need to heat up your skillet or griddle before cooking. It should have a temperature of 375F for at least ten minutes before you can start cooking. To ensure that your pancakes do not stick to it, you should also lightly spray your skillet with flavorless cooking oil. This will make for an even better American pancake recipe.<br /><br />The ingredients required for this recipe are simple and you probably have all of them to hand. You will need to get together 135g of self-rising flour, 125ml of milk, 1 egg and 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt. Quickly mix them all together with your whisk. It is normal for the batter to be a little lumpy after you mixed it.<br /><br />If your bowl is inconvenient, you can pour some of your batter into a smaller one or a cup. A small ladle can also be useful. Pour equal amounts of batter on the skillet. Be sure to watch your pancakes, to avoid any burning! When they start to rise, and you can notice bubbles popping at the top, then you are ready for the flip. If you like berries in your pancakes, you need to add a small handful of them before flipping them.<br /><br />Give them a few minutes to brown on the second side. You can then re-flip them, just to confirm that they are evenly cooked, and a nice golden brown color on both sides. If you are not going to eat right away, be sure to store them in a 200F oven on a paper towel covered baking sheet.<br /><br />This American pancake recipe will have everyone wanting some more! Enjoy them with your favorite toppings, most popular of course being the maple syrup. You can now sit down and enjoy your breakfast!</div>cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788152007166162285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089313730822286601.post-7081676149869418432010-02-04T10:43:00.000-08:002010-02-26T01:05:14.229-08:00An Old Fashion Pancake Recipe - RoeAlita DolciaToday's pancake is a relative of a Roman pancake recipe that was made of milk, eggs, and flour with spices added. It was more of a flat bread but was called "RoeAlita Dolcia" and was served with fruits. Another version was stuffed with cheese and meat and served for lunch or dinner. Europeans made pancakes in the medieval times that more resemble the ones we have today. The first published recipe was in a 1430 English cookery book.<br /><br />Breakfast is the best time to serve pancakes. Pancakes are the star of the show on Shrove Tuesday. This is the day right before Lent starts when one is allowed to eat those things thought of being a luxury, as pancakes are. The next day starts lent when one should sacrifice and often people give up sweet things during the period of lent to Easter.<br /><br />The German people have a pancake recipe that incorporates potatoes in as do the Jews who make latke from potatoes. Crepes are a type of pancake but are very thin and are usually topped with fruits and rolled over in half. In Indonesia they make dadar gutung, from India comes the poori, and in China families enjoy bao bing. Panekoeken, pancakes made from buckwheat, are made by the Dutch. Recipes for pancakes that puff up very high and are enhanced by fruit and sprinkled with powdered sugar, are plentiful and delicious.<br /><br />Where ever they come from, pancakes are a staple of the American Diet. An Old fashion pancake recipe is the best there is. It is simple yet fluffy and light and smothered in syrup it makes a great breakfast or lunch. These pancakes are even good at dinner time with a little sausage. To make them you sift together in a large bowl one and one half cups flour, three and one half teaspoons baking powder, one half teaspoon salt, and one tablespoon white sugar. Make sure it is mixed well and then make a well in the center by pushing the ingredients to the side of the bowl leaving a crater in the middle. Pour one and one fourth cup of milk into the crater and crack one egg into it as well. Melt three tablespoons of butter in a measuring cup and pour it in the crater. With a fork start to beat the liquid ingredients incorporating a little of the dry as you go. Go around the crater and keep incorporating all the dry ingredients into the egg and milk mixture until it is all incorporated.<br /><br />Place a frying pan or griddle on the stove and get it hot. Pour about one tablespoon of oil onto it. Using a ladle fill it with batter and pour it on the griddle or pan. Bubbles will start to form all round the edges of the pancake and when they do appear turn the pancake over. Once the bubbles come back all around the edges you can remove the pancake to a plate and put some butter on it. Make sure to have syrup nearby to pour over the pancake.<br /><br />There are several variations to this recipe to make them different. Make buttermilk pancakes by using buttermilk instead of milk in the same amount. You can also use orange juice instead of milk and make orange zest with the rind and throw it in to make orange flavored pancakes. One teaspoon of almond extract added to the recipe will make a delicious almond flavored pancake. Add three fourths cup of blueberries that are whole and washed and you will have some wonderful blueberry pancakes. Strawberry pancakes can be made by slicing three fourths of a cup of strawberries and adding them to the batter. One more variation is to add a cup of chocolate chips. Instead of syrup just put whipped cream on top.<br /><br />If you love chocolate you might want to try chocolate pancakes. You can't beat them for flavor and uniqueness. Chocolate pancakes should be a dessert instead of a main dish. Combine 2 cups flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and one fourth of a teaspoon of salt. Add three fourths of a cup of granulated sugar and combine well. Pour in a cup of milk and 4 teaspoons butter that has been melted. Mix to combine and add two whole eggs and mix. The last ingredient is 6 teaspoons of cocoa. Mix it all well.<br /><br />Using a ladle put batter on hot skillet with a little vegetable oil. When bubbles form around the edges flip it over and remove when the bubbles start to appear again. Spread with a little butter and place several dollops of whipped cream over top to eat. You can also sprinkle some chocolate chips on top and let them melt a little.<br /><br />Pancakes are a favorite especial for children. Your family will be excited and actually eat breakfast when you serve pancakes. Use the two recipes above and make them different every time you serve them, even at dessert.cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788152007166162285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089313730822286601.post-19726825000024702202010-02-04T10:41:00.000-08:002010-02-04T10:41:27.417-08:00There are many different pancake recipesI enjoy pancakes in the morning, in the afternoon, and even in the evening. Pancakes, not just for breakfast anymore. My pancake recipe depends on my mood and the ingredients I have handy. My basic recipe is to mix in my food processor flour, sugar, baking powder, a pinch of salt, Milk and eggs. It is what you put in to the basic mix that makes the difference. Sometime I want blue berry pancakes. I myself process the blue berrys in the batter in the processor.<br /><br />You can use frozen blue berries. They are usually less expensive and simply let them defrost before adding them to the batter. You can add pumpkin to the batter for some nice autumn pancakes. Use of can of pumpkin. Do not use the can of pumpkin pie mix. The regular canned pumpkin works better.<br /><br />You can also make sweet potato pancakes. Now these are not potato pancakes. These are sweet potato flavored pancakes. Use canned sweet potato. You can add some of the liquid if you like. But not too much so your batter is not to runny. You will not use the whole can of sweet potatos so make sure you place the rest in an air tight container and refrigerate them.<br /><br />Strawberry pancakes are a good mid summer morning treat. I process the strawberries in the food processor in the batter because they are too large to have them sticking out of the batter on the griddle.<br /><br />I cook my pancake batter on the griddle. I brush the surface with a pastry brush dipped in cooking oil. I test the heated griddle by dropping a few drops of batter. When they start to sizzle and cook I know the griddle is ready. I scrape off my test batter and start cooking.<br /><br />I pour a five to six inch circle of batter. I let them cook until the bubbles that form almost break. If you want your pancakes more cooked wait until all the bubbles have burst. I flip them and cook on the other side for about forty to fifty seconds more. Cook longer if you want them well done.<br /><br />Cover the plate with a lid and make your second one the same way. I like my syrup warm so I place the bowl of syrup on the stove top while I ham cooking the pancakes. I also drop a chunk of butter in the syrup so the butter is melted by the time I pour the syrup. If you check you grocery store for pancake syrup you will be surprised to see that is nothing but corn syrup with caramel coloring or simply food coloring. You will these ingredients certainly in the store brand or generic brand products.<br /><br />You want real maple syrup for you pancakes. You can find real maple syrup in some grocery stores or you might have to go to a specialty food store. However you need to find real maple syrup do not make pancakes until you have it. Pouring corn syrup over your pancakes is not fair to you or your pancakes. I hope you enjoy your next stack... I feel like making myself some right now.cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788152007166162285noreply@blogger.com0
